I assume they need to be stratified. However, the way I got my apricot seedling was that I started tossing my apricot and peach pits in a pile to use as "mulch" to keep weeds down in a sort of godforsaken dry part of my front yard. I figured it was so dry they wouldn't sprout but after a year or two I had a couple apricot and peach seedlings. The only disadvantage of my method is that I mixed apricot, peach, aprium and nectarine varieties so I can't be sure what it is other than "apricot-like" and "peach-like".
This was in Berkeley, CA. Berkeley doesn't get *that* many chill hours.
